The A-list couple split last week when reports circulated that the 31-year-old musician had dumped the Friends star over "disagreements". But now it seems Jennifer's desire to start a family was the catalyst for the split. A source told OK! USA: “She was truly ready to move on. John wasn't ready to father her child so she ended it.”

The couple, who had been dating on and off for around a year, are said to have ended their romance on good terms and have not ruled out getting back together in the future. Another source said: “They left the door open to give it another go. John's number one priority at the moment is his music, it’s all-consuming for him.” It has previously been reported Jennifer was keen for John to commit to their future together, including promising he would change his lifestyle when they started a family.
